FedEx International DirectDistribution Overview

FedEx International DirectDistribution is a contract service that allows you to send multiple packages in a consolidated shipment from a single location in an origin country to multiple recipients in a single destination country.

Packages are shipped as one electronically consolidated shipment. The shipment clears customs with one Consolidated Commercial Invoice using a single international master air waybill. Once customs is cleared, FedEx deconsolidates the shipment and distributes packages to the final recipients.
